[QUOTE="waterant, post: 508756, member: 34810"] Hi guys, I hope you had a great Christmas, and Happy New Year to you and yours! Some progress on this build: I tried aluminum blazing for the first time to buld hatch frames. Worked pretty well. almost like TIG welding with a strong bond. [ATTACH type="full"]118430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118431[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118436[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118437[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118438[/ATTACH] so far, it's 318 LB. 213LB added to the 105LB original hull. I added 2" 1/8" flat bars to the hull tightened into a heavy 2" 1/8" angle in the middle for reinforcement because I will have to be able to raise this boat by the crane and it was not designed for lifting. Yes, it is heavy. This build would be better on 14' or 16' hull, but I have room only for 12' on my deck. It will float just fine and run well with 2 people. I will add pods or 3x strips of 2" foam to each side for extra flotation and stability - this will add 150-300LB of buoyancy. I'm still considering the type and design for that part. [/QUOTE]
